Nick @ The Linux ExperimentHere is this week's #Linux and #OpenSource News!
This time, we have #KDE planning some big changes on the desktop, we have #Wikipedia adding AI features here and there, and #OpenSUSE Leap 16 looking like a very strong proposition.

David@thelinuxEXP Leap 16 looks interesting. I tried it out and the offline installer was broken (apparently a known issue) but the network installer worked perfectly. It’s much better than the previous installer. The new installer is clean and has easy to follow steps.
@david I definitely like what they’re doing with it !
Arcticulate@david @thelinuxEXP I’ve had thoughts about trying to get comfortable with OpenSUSE again. I used to be a full-time SuSE Linux user, way back, in the 7.3 days. That was a long time ago, with KDE 2.0. These days I install Linux VMs (and Haiku OS) on top of macOS or Linux. I’m interested in seeing what OpenSUSE YaST can do for me with GUI conf of SAMBA, NFS and such, among other things. I’m a pro Linux sysadmin, but GUIs are nice too 🙂
@david @thelinuxEXP I guess my curiosity for trying out new versions of OpenSUSE is because it was not my first distro, but the first distro I used full-time at home, on a clean install. I got rid of Windows 98 and Me! completely from the hard drive. No dual boot.
@Arcticulate I’d recommend giving OpenSUSE a try. It’s been very stable for me (both Leap and Tumbleweed) and as a long time Linux user, you’ll pick it up straight away.
I remember my first Linux was Slackware when I had to install it from different labelled floppy disks and setting up a gui was a challenge. We’ve come a long way since then!
Ace120C@thelinuxEXP I'm on tumbleweed for like 6 months now and I've been liking how tumbleweed is super stable for a rolling release
